- [I'm a Unix guy, and this is my first venture into the PC domain, so please
- bear with me... ]
-
- I have a PC here, with an Ethernet card, and running PC-NFS. There's
- a software on the PC that I'd like to access from my Sun Workstation.
- I'm familiar with BSD Sockets, so I thought up the following scheme:
- I should have a daemon running on the PC, which will listen at a
- particular port, and service the requests. The problem is, I have
- never hacked on a PC (well, almost never; the last PC I worked on was
- _really_ a PC, with 8088 and a 5.25" drive... but I digress!)
-
- So, my question is: What all do I need to get the above mentioned
- daemon up and running? Do I need any TCP/IP package running on the
- PC? Are there any PD sources that I could look at as examples? What
- all does PCNFS give me? The manual doesn't seem to mention sockets
- anywhere...
-
- Any help will be appreciated!
